A cold voice sounded, and all the people who were arguing shut up.
Everyone looked towards the platform, towards the man who could decide everything in Xunxing City.
"Stop arguing. The army is the first line of defense for the city. I know their situation. Increase their pay. Other departments must use their quotas and not waste them!"
Lu Chengchuan spoke and defined the matter. When the people below saw that the city lord had spoken, no one dared to object.
"It's alright, everyone go away. Luke and Arnold stay."
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and left, leaving only a few of them and some guards in the huge conference hall.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Lu Chengchuan raised his hand, and Chiron walked out from the shadows behind. The two looked at the gloomy man. The man also turned his gaze, and when his gloomy gaze fell, the two felt a chill.
"Give them the blueprints."
Chiron handed the drawing in his hand to the two men. They took it and saw a sphere covered with complex patterns.
"I'm offering a bounty to everyone: five level four monster crystals. As long as you send the items shown in the picture, these five monster crystals will be yours.
Also, providing relevant clues can also earn you a Level 4 Monster Crystal."
Fifteen years have passed, and now that the city has settled down, he can finally issue a reward.
"Level 4 Monster Crystals?! Five?"
Luke and Arnold looked at the blueprint in their hands in surprise. The thing on it was so valuable, a level 4 monster crystal. This would definitely drive many super-powered people crazy.
Not only were they surprised, but Raya next to them was also surprised. She didn't know what this thing was.
"Publish this bounty, and let the Human Alliance know."
The two men put away the drawings and lowered their heads to receive the order.
The meeting was over, everything that needed to be resolved was resolved, and the reward was posted. Lu Chengchuan stood up and left, and Chiron quickly followed, leaving the three people still in shock.
"Ms. Raya, what is the thing the lord is looking for?"
The two men approached Raya, hoping that her only student could reveal some information to them.
"I don't know either."
Raya shook her head. She really didn't know and had never seen the teacher mention this thing.
The three were a little confused, but since it was the order, the two of them still carried out it honestly. Raya looked in the direction of the mansion with an inexplicable expression, and no one knew what she was thinking.
The two men made preparations. Not only did they announce it in their city, they also sent out several teams of cavalry to announce the bounty in major cities.
As soon as the bounty was announced, the super-powered mercenaries wandering around Star City and nearby towns went crazy.
They could never earn so many level 4 crystals even if they worked till death, but now they could get them just by finding one thing. Although it was just as dangerous to look for things outside, what if they were lucky?
Seeing the bounty, many super-powered mercenaries set off quickly.
A month after the reward was issued, more than one person said they had found something.
"Are they trying to trick me?"
Upon hearing the news, Lu Chengchuan's first thought was whether these people wanted to cheat the crystal from him. This was a unique item, but three teams claimed to have found it.
"Don't worry, Master. I can tell whether a divine artifact is real or fake. You don't have to worry."
Chiron stepped out from the shadows, vowing that he could tell whether the artifact was real or fake.
Since being released, Chiron has obeyed Lu Chengchuan's orders. He also knows that his life is always in Lu Chengchuan's hands, and that the trace of his soul can not only monitor him, but also kill him in an instant.
"Then let's go and see if they really have something or if they are just brave."
With Chiron's guarantee, Lu Chengchuan got up and went to the hall of the mansion, where three teams were waiting.
Inside the hall, there were three teams and nineteen people, with three captains holding a sphere engraved with complex patterns.
In the silent hall, three teams were staring at each other. At this moment, all three teams were cursing each other in their hearts. They all had things in their hands. Would the city lord believe that the things were real?
Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, Lu Chengchuan brought Chiron to the hall.
Without even looking at what they had in their hands, he immediately felt the nervousness and uneasiness of these people. He already knew the answer: these guys were here to cheat people out of money.
"Master, these three things are all fake."
Chiron's voice sounded, these three things were indeed forgeries.
This sound made the faces of the nineteen people present change. The three leading captains looked as pale as death. They fell to their knees and began to beg for mercy without hesitation.
"Lord City Lord! We were wrong! We don't dare to do it again!"
After their lie was exposed, the three men did not dare to make any excuses and just knelt down and kowtowed.
Lu Chengchuan's face was cold. This matter concerned whether he could return to Blue Star. This kind of thing was not to be taken lightly.
"Send them to jail, and I'll figure out what to do with them when I have time."
Nineteen people were escorted to prison, and Lu Chengchuan returned to his office to continue studying the cultivation method.
He thought what happened today would not happen again, but in the following months, more than a dozen teams of people came to him with counterfeit items to trick him.
Lu Chengchuan was irritated by them. At first he sent them to jail, but later he felt that severe punishment was necessary to stop these guys who wanted to cheat.
He took the last three teams directly to the city square, hung them up and left them to die in the sun in the square.
After learning that they were severely punished for deceiving the city lord, those who still wanted to take a gamble gave up the idea. After all, life is more important.
Life returned to normal. Lu Chengchuan continued to study while waiting for news, and went out from time to time to deal with monster riots.
There are a lot of resources in this place, but there are also a lot of problems. The monster problem alone requires Lu Chengchuan to spend a lot of time and energy to deal with it.
Every year, many monsters rush in. The army can deal with the weak monsters, but he needs to take action to deal with the powerful monsters.
Lu Chengchuan was actually happy to kill monsters. In the past fifteen years, he had gained more than 1,800 years of life by killing monsters, and his body had also recovered to its peak condition. It was a pity that he had no new martial arts, so his life span could only be preserved.
Three years later, a plan prepared by Lu Chengchuan was finally implemented.
"You have only one mission: find the object in the portrait and bring it back."
In the military camp, a team secretly trained by Lu Chengchuan was ready to set off. Ten years ago, Lu Chengchuan asked Luke to recruit a thousand homeless children aged eight to ten and let them receive various training.
For today, Lu Chengchuan only gave them one task, which was to find the artifact.
For these special soldiers, Lu Chengchuan's orders are everything.
After a brief speech, the soldiers received their equipment and set off in small teams.
After watching them leave the city, Lu Chengchuan returned to his mansion.
Two years passed, and it was another ordinary day. Just when the guards thought it was just like any other day, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the city lord's office.
